Decadent Pimento Cheese Recipe

Decadent Pimento Cheese

The Littles love pimento cheese. A few weeks ago, in an effort to make my back-to-school lunch packing extravaganza efforts easier, I headed to Central Market to pick up a generous supply of their famous Pam’s pimento cheese, along with a gazillion other staples. The only trouble was my timing. The end of August may mark back-to-school for most, but in the ATX culinary world it means Hatch Chile Festival.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the Hatch Chile Festival and Husband and I partake in our fair share of the famed green chiles. It’s just that during the festival, everything under the sun takes on the flavor of the Hatch. Including Central Market’s original pimento cheese. Don’t tell anyone, but I sampled just a tiny taste of the Hatch Chile Pimento Cheese and with tongue aflame determined the four Littles couldn’t handle the heat.

Rather than wait out the festival, I whipped up our own hatch-free version. The Littles’ lunches have never tasted so good.

    So how long would you estimate this will last in the fridge? I’m gonna “whip” some up too…I think my family will like it.

      Deanna, the Littles eat it before it could go bad. But, I’m guessing up to a week. xo,K

      Meghan, It’s definitely a classic. Old-school pimento cheese. Enjoy!

    And this tastes like Pam’s Pimento cheese that I buy at HEB? I’ve been looking for that recipe everywhere!

      Melissa,

      Not the same recipe, but we LOVE both!

      Pam’s Pimento cheese at Central Market has dill in it. And less cream cheese. The consistency is a bit different, too since I use an electric beater. My recipe doesn’t call for dill, but you could add some!

    I made this and put slivered almonds in it and it was define ! It is especially good if you grill it because it will give you a buttery crunch along with the bread.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
